June 1st 2009, issue still unresolved. anyone want to exchange this C1000 for a OQO x86 ? - contact me at my email address.

Why don't you read http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/contact and follow the instructions there?

Oh my gosh, this is becoming too stupid. Why yet ANOTHER distribution? Wouldn't their "skills" be a better help if they were to actually contribute to the current distro?

Though I am completely with you here I believe it is more fun to quickly throw in the common buzzword which is always thrown in that case beforesomebody else does it: Freedom of choice. Which is more a "Fragmentation of choice" but, well, this is how the game works. *g*

Actually, it looks like "Yet Another Image", but people keep calling images a distro. I'm pretty sure you'll still be greeted by the angstrom banner when logging in over ssh/serial.

X tunneling over ssh adds a lot of overhead and latencie, as does you wireless connection. Try doing remote X without tunneling (e.g. just by setting DISPLAY=simpadipaddress:0)

Open Embedded / Gconf_dbus Compile Error With Oe.stable
« on: September 02, 2008, 05:10:19 am »
The 'generic' distro is broken and unsupported, use 'angstrom-2007.1' in .stable or 'angstrom-2008.1' in .dev

PS: the last official patch to the 2.4.36.2 kernel series dates from 24 Feb 2008.

And notice that is has absolutely no support for ARM based cpus or devices. In fact, no 2.4 kernel has ARM support.
Eh?   How does it come that 2.4 is running on millions of ARM systems including the Sharp Zaurus?

unmaintained 3rd party patches, like the -rmk and -pxa ones.

The 2.4 kernel simply works. So, why change a running system?

Because right now your system runs much slower and consumes much more power than with a kernel that isn't from 2002.

Missing in 2.4:

* decent powermanagement
* decent soundsystem
* EABI
* VFP support
* sane scheduler
* dyntick
* SDIO support
* Preemption
* Highres timers
* 4 years of bugfixes

etc, etc

Konq-e doesn't seem to be making progress, I'm afraid.  Possibly apple's webkit stuff has eclipsed interest?

hmm. well, the Micro-B web browser on the nokia n800 seems pretty good and that's webkit based AIUI.

microB uses mozilla as backend at the moment

second: koen's suggestion is to fill a bug report for such errors on http://bugs.openembedded.org

Actually my suggestion was to read the news telling people to test r9, not r8. Filing bugs is still recommended, though
